To aZZ whom it may concern.'

Be it known that MARGARET a. citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan. county of New York, and State of New York. have invented a new and improved Pie-Pan, of which the following is a. full. clear, and exact description.

Mv invention has for-its object to provide pie pan which may be manufactured at little vcost and which has an inner bead spaced from the top of the pan-and positioned to receive the 'sides of the nndercrust to permit of the upper crust being pressed thereagiainst, while the edges of the upper and lower crusts may be pressed against the tinted edge of the pan above the bead.

Additional objectsof the invention will appear inl the following specification in which the preferred form of my invention is disclosed.

ln the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts in all the views in which- Figure l is a plan View of the pie pan, parts. beingbroken laway to illustrate the construction: and Fig. 2 is a transverse seetional view of Fig. l.

Bv referring to the drawings it will be seen that the pie pan has a bottom 5 and upwardlv diverging sides 6, the upper portions 7 of these sides 6 being tinted and the sides below the said tinted 'portions '7 eX tending inwardly. upwardly and outwardly to form the bead 8. With. this construction the lower pie crust may be disposed against the sides 6 of 'the nan and against the bead and the fluted portion 7. after which a tilling may be disposed in the shell formed by the lower crust. An upper crust may then be disnosed over the lower crust and be pressed against the lower crust at the bead 8. fflie nndercrust is cut flush with the top ot' the pan and the upper crust stops at the bead 8. Any juices which may pass .be-

tween the lower and-the upper crusts Will be prevented from boiling over by the luted undercrust formed by the uted portion 7 of the pan,.this 4tinted portion 7 serving to break the bubbles. etc., and the little channels in the luted portion directing the juices downwardly. The pie may .be removed from the pan by inserting a knife between the lower crust and the iluted por' tion 7 of the pan, and pressing the knife 'downwardly against the side 6 of the pan,

the knife being then directed along the under surface of the pie, so that the pie may be raised from the pan as desired.

When the pan is used in the manner which has been described, all the juices will be retained in the pan and it will be impossible for them to overflow the pan thereby soiling the oven. It is also possible to readily remove the pie from the pan.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

y A pie'pan having a bottom and sides extending upwardly therefrom `on straight lines, then inwardly and upwardly, then outwardly and upwardly to form a bead against which. the upper pie crust may be pressed against the lower pie crust, the sides ot' the pan above the bead being in substantiallv the saine plane as the sides of the `oan below the bead, vthe sides of the pan above Vthe bead against which the lower pie crust may be pressed, being tinted to 4give the lower crust a tinted surface to prevent the iuices from boiling over the sides of the pan.

In testimony whereof l have signed my name to this specification in the presence of the two subscribing witnesses.
